I love it when the #maga#media bubble bursts over #fakenews but I'm always shocked at the "professional #journalism" reporting garbage #hype to begin with.
#StephenMiller, a fmr snr adviser to #Trump [& pure concentrated evil] who still helps guide his thinking on policy, blared out a directive on #FoxNews after a jury found Trump #guilty of falsifying financial records to cover up… his 2016 [#ElectionInterference]. Miller posed a series of questions to Republicans at every level, including local DAs.
Whether a sitting president can be tried in a state court is an untested #legal matter that is sure to be fought out in higher courts.
4 of #Trump’s 19 original co-defendants have already pleaded #guilty & taken deals w/the prosecution, including #SidneyPowell & Kenneth #Chesebro, a legal architect of the plan to deploy #FakeElectors who has become a witness in 5 different state election inquiries.
Guess who said "A president under felony indictment would create a constitutional crisis"?? And that they should not be allowed to run for president because of it.
So my question to the person that said this is this, "what happens if that moron is actually convicted??" Should they allowed to be the nominee for their party?
"lock her up" - a quick #history
"They wanted to see Democratic rival Hillary #Clinton in prison over the use of her private email server while secretary of state.
And Mr #Trump was more than willing to back their calls for, at the very least, a fresh investigation. During the debates, he told Mrs Clinton:
"If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation.""
"Yet Hillary #Clinton is proposing mass amnesty, mass immigration, and mass lawlessness. Her plan will overwhelm your schools and hospitals, further reduce your jobs and wages, and make it harder for recent immigrants to escape from poverty."
"Nick Anderson, the Pulitzer-winning #cartoonist...
“The fact that #Trump was #guilty on all 34 counts was a pretty devastating statement. I brainstormed for about 10 minutes before I landed upon the idea... I really wanted to capture that we now have a presidential candidate from a major #political party who is a #ConvictedFelon,” Anderson added.
He decided to spell out the word #FELON framing Trump’s face: “I wasn’t sure I could pull it off at first, but it really came together quickly.”"
@realTuckFrumper that why he should be locked up at SuperMax here in Florence, Colorado. No one to talk to under ground. He doesn't need Secret service agents anymore, he's a felon...we have Prison Guards for his ass!! No more privileges! #TrumpGuilty#traitortrump#guilty
8 #Republican senators announced Fri they would boycott #Democratic#legislative priorities & nominations as payback for #Trump’s #guilty#verdict.
In a joint statement, the senators said they would not “allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare.”
The defendant's legal theory, like the man, was dull and bleary,
Only fit for a bitter, furious battle 'gainst our legal corps—
While he nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,
As of many wildly clapping, clapping at the courthouse door.
“’Innocence or guilt,” I muttered, “what news from the courthouse door"—
Quoth the jury, "Thirty-four."
